Eleven: The cleanser.
We all stood around the screen.Frozen.Watching Amos’s blueprint of Caleb’s weapon: The Cleanser.It looked simple.Just lines.Circles.Blocks of code.But it was more dangerous than anything I had seen in my life.Nova zoomed in on the core file.“It’s built to rewrite history,” she whispered. “Delete records. Flip news. Replace birth names. Fake crimes. Create deaths that never happened.”Felix said, “This is more than hacking.”Deek finished the thought:> “It’s a digital genocide.”---The CountdownAmos stepped forward.“He started the countdown the day I refused to help him.”I turned to him. “You said we have four days.”He nodded.“Once it’s triggered, it’ll spread across the internet. Like a virus. Quiet. Unstoppable. Everyone will see false stories. False faces. And no one will know it’s not real.”Amber asked the only question left:> “Where’s the trigger?”Amos replied,> “I don’t know. But he’s smart. He’ll hide it where truth still exists.”---The Library of TruthWe
Twelve: The memory virus
11:15 AM – Carter TowerAmber stared at the security feed on her screen. One of the elevators had stopped responding. Floor 47. A floor that wasn’t supposed to exist.Felix entered quickly. “We have a breach.”Amber asked, “Is it Jason and Nova?”“No. Someone else. Masked. Came in as a cleaner. He bypassed every scanner.

He can become anyone.”Nova added, “We’ll land in 20 minutes. Hold the council together.”---Meanwhile – Floor 47, Carter TowerA man dressed like one of the kitchen staff stood alone in the hallway.

THIRTEEN: The Believers
The screens blinked again. Then static. Then darkness.Jason stood still. So did Nova, Felix, and Amos.All they could hear was the low hum of backup power kicking in.Then came the voice again—cold, calm, crawling through the walls.“I warned your father. But he chose control over truth. Now… you will lose both.”Amos whispered, “He’s in the AI.”Nova's hand hovered over her tablet. “He's infecting the system memory… twisting live files… real-time edits.”Jason stepped forward.“You hide behind code. But your face—your real face—what are you afraid of?”The Mirror chuckled through the static.“I am not hiding, Jason. I’m rewriting. Soon, the world will believe you never existed.”---6:12 PM – Inside the Mainframe LayerAmos typed fast, unlocking a deep-level admin gateway.“I'm in,” he said. “But we have seconds.”Nova leaned over. “Redirect the memory loop. If we isolate the virus inside a sandbox, we can trap him.”Felix asked, “And if he breaks out?”Amos shrugged. “Then the whol
